Real Time Radiation Resources in Japan & Conversion Calculators
Given recent news stories I am posting some links to live radiation monitoring stations in Japan.

I AM NOT debating anything here. I AM NOT making any claims here. Just posting raw data, non political scientific information.

Radiation readings from Japan in PDF, near real time:

Live readings from Tokyo. (Blog, may have ads)
http://www.alttokyo.com/tokyo-radiation-2/

Conversion calculator for Units (simple sv to rem) (base 10 and non base ten scales can cause decimal point errors)
http://www.asknumbers.com/RadiationExposureConversion.aspx
Complex conversions. These are useful to convert Gy/s to sv/hr. Many medical journals and the CDC use Grays/second

CDC dose limits. (note the units are gy)
http://www.bt.cdc.gov/radiation/arsphysicianfactsheet.asp

Graphical dose ESTIMATOR. (as pointed out this is not a clinical reference document) It provides visuals of doses. The orders of magnitudes involved show how an error like publishing a 10,000,000 x normal can be made.

CDC on KI (note doses on KI, overdose can be lethal)
